We met at Sarna and Brent's for a couple's dinner and potluck.
We read The Help by Kathryn Stockett
This lead to much discussion of pre-Civil Rights America, how it has shaped us today, what remains of those times, and how we relate to the people who lived in the South during that time. The book was fiction, but developed multi-dimensional characters who seemed very real by the end of the read. It made it easy to imagine the lives of both the black maids, and their white employers.
We enjoyed having the men with us for the evening, and all agreed to repeat the event again in the future.
The book options were:
Shanghai Girls by Lisa See
The Girls from Ames by Jeffrey Zaslow and
Healing Sands by Nancy Rue and Stephen Arterburn
Next book: Healing Sands
Next meeting: Sunday, March 14th, 7 pm
Host: Lisa
Snacks: Lisa?
Books: Sarna
About Me

- This is the story of a couple who makes only boys. We have been married for 14 years now, and are enjoying our family, our home, and the many curves life throws in this great game. Though much of life can be frustrating, we believe that it is all in your perspective. Ours is that life is funny. And, ours can be very funny at times...
